Yoga Ratna, the jewel of Yoga - published by Feltrinelli - G. Cella
We understand almost nothing.
Really.
I went out the smoke from his ears. Reading was not right for my complete inexperience: My first approach to yoga with a book that certainly is not designed for absolute beginners, much less self-taught.
Fortunately, the writing and the approach of special cell Gabriella are a magnet and so rather than escape from a difficult text, I fell in love with a discipline.
Whether it was a beautiful essay I found out later, after having put between me and the lotus flower with a green cover (it was an old edition ...) other works for beginners.
that yoga is different, and far, from a purely physical activity, you can breathe now.
That would be enough already to make Yoga Ratna between the texts (not many, actually) that really speak of yoga, when in fact it is often (sad but true) is reduced to an exercise in fashion.
were chosen 108 postures (asanas), and associates told as if it were a garland, a necklace: each grain, a form of the body.
It starts up, then you lean, you sit down, then you are lying, and finally reversed: an ideal sequence, smooth like a dance. For each position is taken care of the building, breathing from and is designated to take the compensation, even if there are no pictures or drawings, which can make the absolute beginner, already doubtful plausibly, even more hesitant (I know something).
You see immediately the great precision of the proposed work, in fact, have indicated clearly the benefits and, most importantly, the contraindications of each asana: with special attention for all ages in the women (cycle, pregnancy, menopause).
No author (or author ...) is able to bring so gentle yoga for women.
But the truly original feature of the approach of Gabriella cell is in the depth of the symbolic journey, which in fact is very comprehensive.
For example, who is Aditi? It tells us that is the mythical mother of the gods (with the strict indication of the sources of classical Indian literature), and were fascinated to discover that the blessed life, nature, and drive away evil. A position with this comprehensive introduction leads the mind to tune into the symbolic meaning, and the symbol will come to life within us, each taking on different shades.
We open the doors to a diverse and multifaceted world, and he gives us a compass to find our way to the balance of body and serenity of mind.
